[QUOTE="Skeptic, post: 167188, member: 2175"] Four teams chosen subjectively -- and therefore invariably political as you note -- ain't it. I once unwillingly sat on a panel to choose a regional public teacher of the year, in a slot set aside to bring an outside, objective view of the profession. The first two rounds in this all-day affair were exemplary, and for a bit I regretted my reluctance. Then came the last round. The gloves came off. The knives came out. Blood was spilled. Rank partisanship erupted. There I sat, being objective, Neither of my choices got a second look. In about as mean infighting as you can imagine they got a winner. I am sure she was a good teacher, and that her students loved her to pieces, but just kind of figured that teacher of the year ought know the King's English. Boy, did I get a lesson in back-room, closed door politics. It is one reason I wondered about Condoleezza Rice being on that panel. Nothing to do with football knowledge, but she got steamrolled in a presidential administration and that did not bode well once the door was locked. That, and Alabama was a "safe" choice. [/QUOTE]
